Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement") derives from the TheLifePub Principles, and governs our relationship with users and others who interact with TheLifePub. By using or accessing TheLifePub, you agree to this Statement.

1.      Privacy

Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use TheLifePub to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help make informed decisions.

2.      Sharing Your Content and Information

You own all of the content and information you post on TheLifePub, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:

1.      For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos ("IP content"), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with TheLifePub ("IP License"). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.

2.      When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).

3.      When you add an application and use Platform, your content and information is shared with the application. We require applications to respect your privacy settings, but your agreement with that application will control how the application can use the content and information you share. (To learn more about Platform, read our About Platform page.)

4.      When you publish content or information using the "everyone" setting, it means that everyone, including people off of TheLifePub, will have access to that information and we may not have control over what they do with it.

5.      We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about TheLifePub, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).

3.      Safety

We do our best to keep TheLifePub safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to do that, which includes the following commitments:

1.      You will not send or otherwise post unauthorized commercial communications (such as spam) on TheLifePub.

2.      You will not collect users' content or information, or otherwise access TheLifePub, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without our permission.

3.      You will not engage in unlawful multi-level marketing, such as a pyramid scheme, on TheLifePub.

4.      You will not upload viruses or other malicious code.

5.      You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging to someone else.

10.    You will not use TheLifePub to do anything unlawful, misleading, malicious, or discriminatory.

7.      You will not transfer your account to anyone without first getting our written permission.

8.      If you select a username for your account we reserve the right to remove or reclaim it if we believe appropriate (such as when a trademark owner complains about a username that does not closely relate to a user's actual name).

5.      Protecting Other People's Rights
